.Are Fon Reasonable?
If ever a word was entitled to sue its abusers, it is the
word reasonable?
Just think of the way it is used. "He will be reasonable."
In short, he can see where HIS interest lies '— and act ac-
oordingly, even if it means shading a point.
"Oh, he's reasonable." With the inference he won't be
too troubled about ethics. There is a sort of contempt about
the word, as though the reasonable man wasn't worthy of
much respect.
Now the dictionary definition is quite different. It
reads "sensible; having the faculty of reasoning; rational;
governed by reason in acting or thinking."
To go further — in defining "reason," "the entire mental or rational nature of man, as distinguished from the in
telligence of the brute; that which is right or befitting."
Therefore, a reasonable man should mean one who acts
or thinks things through, who is not motivated by the an
imal instinct of self-preservation, but who does that which
is right."
A truly reasonable man will do his own thinking. He
will ndt run'with the mob. When he. figures out a. course of
action, he will adhere to that course. He will not be swayed
from his purpose unless he is genuinely convinced — and
then <only in line with his basic principles.
A reasonable nian will h'sten to arguments, but he will
evaluate both >tlie arguments and the arguer, analyzing not
merely the facte but the motive behind their presentation.
A reasonable tfiah Shows moderation in what. he. does
and says; He spends more time thinking than he does talking. And when foe does talk he has something to say because
he knQWs what he thinks.
A reasonable man may not necessarily be brilliant —
but he is always sound, because he has reasoned things out
and through to a logical conclusion.
A reasonable person is a good one to, have for a friend
He likes you because you are you, not for what he can get
out of you. You can depend on him in good times and bad.
By the way — which kind of "reasonable" are you?
Counseling The Aged
In ..arlier times, when families moved less and were
more closely knit, the aged were generally cared for at hojne,
One reason was that for most of them there was no place
else to go.
In our time, many of the aged spend, their final years
in old people's homes. This does not mean that older persons
commonly see life in a home for the aged as a desirable
thing. Some have deep misgivings about going to. such a
place, and become despondent at the thought of it.
New insight into, this problem has emerged from psychological tests evaluated by Valencia N. Brock, professor
of nursing at the University of Wisconsin. She finds that
the period of waiting before entry into a home for the aged
••— commonly six months to a year — is Kkely to bring emotional stress which may become so severe as to. require corrective therapy.
Apparently, says Professor Brock, the waiting period
triggers psychological reactions that may be quite disturbing. In her judgment these feelings often result from fantasies and preconceptions of what life in an institution is
like. They are likely to disappear gradually "after entry into
the "home, she says, but counseling in advance may greatly
ease the problem. It is a thing to be kept in mind by those
Responsible for.'the well-being of aged relatives.
®tt$ Gleam Of Light
Only a sh6tt time ago, it apbeared that little Czecho-
.itovjifcia's jgoVernnient had pulled off the astonishing trick
df forcing MosCow to back down. Then Ulbricht of East
terman hastened to confer with Czech officials, and again
seemed that he had been bested and that the process of
tibralization would toe allowed to continue more or less unhampered.
Now all tlfat.:3fe a bitter memory. Those who suggested
that it all lodfaed "too easy, and that Czechoslovakia would
_e_sel the iron heel,,hkve proved to be right. Nor is there
#nica. cause for hope that the United States, the United Na-
tionS, world opinion or anything else can avert a heartbreak-
ij_£..sptback fo Czech aspirations.
Yet the picture is not pholly black. _3Tor a fundamental
weakfte&s of the. Soviet political system, a weakness glimpsed
from time to time in the past, has again been exposed. By
iseverting to the use #f nsiked force to impK) _fe its Will on a
